The coyote is a survivor - It adapts, outsmarts, and endures - even when the odds stack high. The Mangy Coyote carries that same spirit. It’s scrappy, clever, and hard to kill. Expect a race built around camaraderie and chaos: firelight, laughter, fatigue, and that wild pulse that reminds you why you run. Whether you bow out after a few loops or push until the end, you’ll earn your place in the pack.

Picture this: The smell of coffee and Campbell’s Chicken Noodle Soup. Runners swapping stories under string lights. A crowd yelling for you to get back out for another loop. The Mangy Coyote is about grit, and the weird joy of doing something a little unhinged (with your friends) It’s fun, tough, and wildly human… exactly how backyard ultras should be. Join the pack. Test your limits. See how long the wild lets you stay...
